The part I highlighted in red is what is making me laugh . . . what tree branches? In the village we have a few trees but doubtful any branches would fall and cause any issues at all! My other favorite weather tid bit is when they say winds will be breezy at 35 mph really is that breezy? I guess it does depend on your point of reference. We have yet to have below zero weather this winter but I am sure it will arrive before long!
